  2. Bread

    Share Share Post
    In this district in olden times the principal kinds of bread made were barley and wheaten. The wheat and barley were grown locally and the wheaten-meal was grown locally also, but bread made from the locally grown flour was chiefly used by the gentry
    As far as can be remembered grind stones were not used.
    Oatmeal bread was used also and milk was used in the kneading of it.
    A cross was generally made as as mark on the top of each cake, but the cake was sometimes cut into four parts.
